Is this the SMOOTHEST plane landing ever?!

The pilot of this Virgin Atlantic Airbus A330 performs the SMOOTHEST plane landing ever!
On a calm day with little wind, the pilot uses aerodynamic braking which keeps the plane nose up for longer to create drag to slow it down. The pilot then skilfully lowers the nose down for the softest of landings.

Smooth, but still not the smoothest I’ve seen an Airbus do, believe it or not this still had to much smoke coming off the tyres compared to some landings they have.
I’ve wondered if it’s to do with retarding the throttles seconds prior?

[@flght]

Yeah, it’s a close one. But I guess there’s always smoother.. I’m minded to think given all the variables at play throttles, pitch, wind etc. it must be very hard to replicate.
